Awaken. Restore. Flourish.
Trauma-informed coaching and soul care for ministry leaders and individuals.
Do you feel…
Stuck | Disconnected | Alone | Numb | Confused | Anxious | Overwhelmed
We are created to flourish in deep, meaningful connection with God, ourselves and the world around us, but the pain of our struggles and unmet longings can make it challenging to feel hopeful.
Hi, I’m Dean!
I believe that God longs to meet us in our heartache and struggles and redeem us into who we were made to be. As a certified, Allender Center trained, Narrative Focused Trauma Care practitioner, I help people pursue courageous steps on the path towards wholeness. I guide people to explore their stories to make sense of their present challenges. I help them discover the path towards transformation to live with an awakened heart.
Here is how we can work together

“The experience of doing story work with Dean has been profoundly impactful on my life and ministry. I thought I had processed my story. I have been to therapy and worked with a coach for years, but I have never experienced what I did until getting into one of the most significant moments of my life to see how it has shaped my life so clearly. Doing story work has also shaped how I see God at work in the world.”
